Partial day rehab centers treat substance abuse disorders and mental health disorders which can be co-occurring. In the partial day rehab center the person takes part in numerous rehabilitation activities in daytime then returns home at nighttime, from 5 to 7 days every week. Partial day rehab centers are an excellent alternative for alcohol or drug addicted individuals who may be unable to pay for inpatient or residential drug treatment, or who might not exactly have the ability to be away from their families when in inpatient or residential treatment. While in a partial day rehab center, individuals experience group, individual and even family counseling and therapy for drug abuse issues while addressing whatever mental health disorder is plaguing them. You will need to address both issues simultaneously when there is any hope for individuals maintaining any kind long-term abstinence or being able to regain a quality lifestyle. This may take several months due to the fact it's a part-time treatment option, but it's going to be worthwhile for the rehabilitation client and their families in the end whenever they can proceed with a fresh start.
